Aglio Olio and Peperoncino, with Arugula, Olive Oil and Garlic Pasta with Arugula

Aglio Olio and Peperoncino, with Arugula, Olive Oil and Garlic Pasta with Arugula, another variation on one of the “Classic” Italian pasta dishes; Pasta with Aglio, Olio and Peperoncino. A dish using garlic, olive oil and hot pepper as it’s base. This dish can be easily modified by using different “toppings”. In this recipe, we are adding chopped arugula, a peppery, crunchy enhancement. Another example of taking this recipe to the next level is my Linguini with Aglio, Olio, Peperoncino and Peppers. Currently on the blog, this is another version of the original, adding mixed sweet peppers instead of arugula both dishes are great as “Meatless Monday” or vegetarian alternatives.
